PURPOSE: Meralgia paraesthetica (MP) is a rare neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), characterized by thigh pain, paraesthesia, or sensory loss. When conservative treatments fail, surgical interventions such as neurolysis or neure...
Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at d...

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a common condition made up of a variety of anatomic and clinical subtypes. Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) are two subtypes highly associated with LBP. Patients with LDH/LSS are often s...
BACKGROUND: This study described the surgical technique of a robot-assisted retroauricular anterior scalenectomy and assessed clinical outcomes and complications for patients with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS).
BACKGROUND: Cervical spine procedures represent a major proportion of all spine surgery. Mitigating the revision rate following cervical procedures requires careful patient selection. While complication risk has successfully been predicted, revision ...
OBJECTIVE: Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is a congenital disorder occurring in 0.1% of the population. In symptomatic cases, surgery with posterior fossa decompression (PFD) is the treatment of choice. Surgery is, however, associated with peri- a...

OBJECTIVE: Post-operative length of hospital stay (LOS) is a valuable measure for monitoring quality of care provision, patient recovery, and guiding hospital resource management. But the impact of patient ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation as mea...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to introduce a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based robotic system for autonomous planning of spinal posterior decompression and verify its accuracy through a cadaveric model.
AIM: Prospective outcome prediction plays a crucial role in guiding preoperative decision-making in patients with Chiari malformation type I (CM-â… ) with syringomyelia. Here, we aimed to develop a predictive model for postoperative outcomes in patient...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and compare machine-learning algorithms to predict recovery of ambulation after decompressive surgery for acute intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE).
